Diabetes-friendly recipes the whole family will eat

Diabetes-friendly cooking pairs carbohydrates with fibre, protein and healthy fats, and keeps added sugar low. These are everyday family meals built that way, so nobody else at the table feels like they are eating diet food.

What Gluten watches for: added sugar, sweet sauces and glazes, juice, and large portions of refined carbs.

Diabetes cooking questions

Are these recipes low-carb?

Not all of them. They balance carbs with fibre and protein. If you follow low-carb or keto, add it to your profile and Gluten will plan for it.

Do I need to count carbs?

These recipes lean on fibre, protein and slower carbs, with portions that suit everyone at the table. Your care team can tell you what targets are right for you.

Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice. Recipes are checked against the restrictions you enter, but always check labels for allergens and cross-contact, and talk to your doctor or dietitian about your diet.
